If she can afford either, than take the Aston.

The other one is just a computer on wheels, and a Nissan.

Take the Nissan. Japanese quality > UK anyday. The nissan comes with driver training too :D

Only if it's a legit NZ import I think. Grey imports which I'd wager that is, won't be supported as such. From what I've been told by my UK car chum types about the GTR days anyway, they're a total farce. They didn't allow women at one of them for instance, men only.

Personally I'd take neither and go and find myself a 997 GT3.


Cheers, Dave.

I'd pick the nissan (but then I am biased) as my last 3 cars have been nissans
2 skylines and a 180sx project car.


edit: conversation like this makes me feel like I'm back on a ceritan Automotive Forum again :D

My first car was a Datsun Cherry, 100A
63hp and weighed nothing, I used to valve bounced it down the hills, and walk it sideways up them. Top speed of 140kph and I did the fastest run I could ever manage from Howick to Beachlands in it, with an average speed of about 125kph :twisted::twisted:


The new GTR is an awsome bit of kit, and even the R32 was a technological tour de force. The new one simply expands upon that, takes even more skill away from the driver, makes it even easier to go fasteri. It everything that is enjoyable about driving away, and just leaves the thrill of traveling quickly along with the possible consequences.


At least the Aston is built with a bit of passion in mind, will break down occasinally and has odd quirks that you need to understand to enjoy it and get the most out of it.



So long and thanks for all the flash

We'll have no talk of VW's in this thread thanks, some of the members from Wellington might get upset.
